The initial "P" has been lost in Gaulish so instead of "Parisii", we should have "Arisii" in Gaulish.
Similar pheneomenon is found in Lusitanian and maybe in the languages of the so called "Nordvestblock" (Benelux and Northwest Germany).
This could mean that the Celts were not the first Indo European to settle in Western Europe. Bernard Sergent classsify the Parisii among a Macro Italic family which apparently reach France before the Celts and was later Celticized. The Seine Oise Marne culture of Belgium and Northern Francewhich l asted from around 3100 to 2000 BCE (during and before the Bell Beakers) could have start the Indo Europeanizatio of Atlantic Europe.
Note that in south east France, the first Indo european are not the Celts but the Ligurian.
